cabby ignition problem

ok had an ignition problem for a while now.  :banghead:
 
my cabby currently doesnt start. there is no spark coming from the coil.
however the coil has been replaced twice now. the rotar arm and dizzy cap and also the control module have been changed. is there anything else that anyone could think of that it may be?

wiring?

the car turns over but doesn't start

any help would be great thanks.

+12V on the main terminal on the coil; and follow the test procedure in Haynes for the hall sensor and TCI unit.

I could name the few other parts of the ignition system and you go check them, but I can't see the point. It sounds like you've looked but not seen the problem, maybe its best seeking a 2nd opinion (getting on for 2 months now?), as in someone who can physically look at the car, not over the internet.
